#1 Mick Lewis 10-0-113-0: Australia vs South Africa, Wanderers, 2006
One can imagine the treatment meted to the bowlers when the batters pile up as many as 872 runs in a match. Yes, we are referring to THAT famous Wanderers match where South Africa did the unimaginable by chasing down Australia's humungous 434 runs with one ball to spare. Who could forget that moment when the Wanderers erupted into wild celebrations when Mark Boucher smashed Brett Lee over mid on to score the winning runs!
A certain gentleman from Australia, Mick Lewis, leaked runs like no other, in that cracker of a match. Herschelle Gibbs & co. took a special liking to his medium pace and Lewis was carted around the bull-ring with utter disdain.
He gave away as many as 113 runs at an economy rate of 11.3. He was smashed for 13 boundaries and 4 maximums in that innings, making him the most expensive bowler in the history of ODI cricket.
